A SUSTAINABLE WORLD eTwinning Project

what does sustainability encompass?

Sustainability means meeting our needs without depleting the needs of future generations. In addition to natural resources, it also includes social and economic resources.   

Environmental sustainability is responsibly interacting with the planet to maintain natural resources and avoid jeopardizing the ability for future generations to meet their needs.

The United Nations Millennium Declaration continued to use three dimensions: economy, environment and social sustainability when defining principles and agreements on sustainable development, including economic development, social development and environmental protection.(Asya Aytaç)

what will happen if sustainability does not continue?

* Depletion of resources

* Exceeding global and regional carrying capacity

* Destroying ecosystems

* Climate change and global warming

* War on local cultures

* Creating huge inequalities in income and wealth distribution.  (Asya Aytaç)

WHAT  TO DO TO PROTECT OUR ENVIROMENT AND LIVE IN A SUSTAINABLE WORLD?

For a sustainable world, we must use our natural resources carefully. If we save and prevent the depletion of these resources, we can be hope for the future. Let’s use renewable energy.(Almila admeo)

We can come up with simple but effective solutions to protect the environment. We can pay the bills online. We must turn off the water while brushing our teeth. We must unplug the household appliances that we do not use.(Medine Emin)

For a sustainable world, studies can be done in many areas. Climate change is a very important problem, we have to produce new things to solve them. For example, we can prevent climate change by using less cars, using public transportation or reducing the use of perfume. In the field of technology, thousands of products from brain chips to air conditioners, washing machines, refrigerators to dishwashers both increase energy efficiency and prevent environmental pollution by performing high performance with low energy. . It is very important for eco-conscious consumers to look not only at performance and price, but also at energy saving rates when purchasing small household appliances, white goods and other technological products for the sustainability of resources. Recent studies show that an energy efficient device can save energy with an average of 10-15 years of use, and the investment made in the device is increased.(Hasibe Nurcan)

As you know, some of our people unconsciously pollute the world and are not economical. With this issue in mind I thought of a solution. The water will be heated with solar panels that will be placed on the roof of our house. The water heated in winter will be used to heat the house thanks to a mechanism. (Hiranur M.D.O)

Receiving our invoices by e-mail will avoid wasting tons of paper. Paper packaging of toothpaste is thrown away as soon as it is opened. If production is provided without packaging, millions of trees will be saved from being slaughtered.(Nevzatberk n)

I READ FROM A PAST TEXT THAT THEY MADE RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES FROM mosses. ELECTRIC ENERGY IS OBTAINED FROM ALGAE, WHICH WE ALL THINK TO BE CLEANED AND DISCARDED AND IT DOES NOT AFFECT HUMAN HEALTH NEGATIVELY(yusuf aytaç)
